How we work
How we choose the lodges and cabins, check prices and measure distances.
The places we list
We follow 20,742 lodges, log cabins, chalets, pods, shepherd’s huts and hot tub cottages in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland that can be booked on Booking.com. A property joins the selection if Booking.com lists it as a lodge or chalet, if its name says it is a cabin, lodge, pod or shepherd’s hut, or if its property page lists a hot tub.
Prices and last-minute availability
Prices are checked automatically on the calendar of each property, for two adults, every day, and shown in pounds. The “usual” price is the median of the available nights over the next 30 days. A last-minute offer means two consecutive nights still free in the next seven days, checked in the last 30 hours; “this weekend” means Friday and Saturday night are both free. We never invent teaser prices: when we have no price, we say so.
Distances
Distances to lakes come from the places Booking.com associates with each property. The distance to the nearest neighbour is our own calculation from the coordinates of every known holiday rental: it is how we measure how secluded a place is.
Ranking
By default, places are ranked by guest rating weighted by the number of reviews: a 9.5 from 4 reviews does not beat a 9.2 from 300 reviews. Some pages have their own order (cheapest last-minute stay, price of the week, seclusion), shown at the top of the page.
How we are funded
When you book on Booking.com after clicking one of our links, we earn a commission at no extra cost to you. It does not affect the ranking.
